I have had ten full-term pregnancies, and suffered from hyperemesis with the first 7 of them.

Slowly, over time, I learned more and more things that helped me not only survive, but go from nausea 24/7 and throwing up 20-30 times per day from weeks 6-20 to zero throwing up with nausea for about 2 hrs out of every 24 hrs from weeks 8 to 12.

Below are links to what I consider my most helpful and information-packed blog posts on this topic, starting with the oldest and going to the most recent. If you have time, I suggest you start at the top and read your way down, to follow the progression of things I have learned.

If you are in urgent need of the most recent info, start at the bottom and read your way up.

Dammit. I have such a love/hate relationship with you! I absolutely love so many of your posts. You are smart, creative, resourceful, funny, etc. If your husband wasn't such an absolute douche & you got out from underneath his kooky spell, we could absolutely be best friends. We could sew, bake bread together, talk about essential oils & natural medicine... **sigh** If you ever "see the light" and dump the chump, let me know! You're far too smart for this life, Zsu. Peace & blessings from your would-be bestie.
